Park Planning

Each year the City of Greeley looks at its park spaces to determine the best ways to improve outdoor recreational areas throughout the community.

Management of the parks includes annual reviews of park playgrounds, shelters and more to measure level of use and age and evaluate needed renovations.

Playgrounds, shelters, and amenities are evaluated for their age and level of use, and each year, several parks throughout the system undergo renovations or improvements.

This City of Greeley has a full-time planner who develops long and short-term strategic plans to complement both the city’s Parks Master Plan and Trails Master Plan.
